Meditation

take a seat

Do you meditate in stillness? Or does the very word invoke an eye roll? Or perhaps a, “Yeah, I know I should . . .”?

No judgment here, Subscriber First Name. But full disclosure: this week’s video is 9 minutes of me talking about meditation followed by 11 minutes of actual meditation. Join me for all of it or just part. We’ll be moving again next week.

A regular meditation practice can help us be kinder, calmer, and increase our awareness.

In the vid, I mention a song that I first heard on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but you might prefer this more choral version. We used to sing it at the Emergent church I attended in Dallas in the early 2000’s, and it holds a special place in my heart. Another song I sing often when I meditate (if I’m alone) is this beauty. Send up your gratitude, because I do NOT sing in this video. (You’re welcome.)

Do you already have a regular practice? Please drop me a line and tell me about what works for you as the person and the enneagram type you are. I really do want to know! Your insights help me become a better teacher. Thank you.

Upcoming opportunities in Minneapolis:

Sunday 10/17: Feeling Personality in the Body — this 90-minute movement-based workshop touches on the basics of what the enneagram is and then guides students through an extended yoga class in which we move through each pose I’ve assigned to represent the 9 types. This is an intermediate yoga class meant to simply introduce the idea of the enneagram. (taught at Life Time Fitness; you don’t have to be a member to attend; register at the front desk or email me)

Saturday 11/6: Yenneagram Intro — this day-long workshop is heavy on information and light on movement, but we do all 9 Yenneagram yoga poses throughout the event. I teach the basics of the modern psychology of the enneagram, using 9 asanas as kinesthetic learning opportunities. It’s a day of note-taking, discussion, and periodic movement that’s perfect for anyone new to the enneagram or still trying to determine their number.

As soon as the workshop is posted by the host, I will share the link to registration on my website, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.

Many thanks!!
